Chapter 898
Sheena said, “If we forcefully break in with excuses, it’s bound to strain relations with Romello, so this is a decision we’ll only consider as a last resort. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go to the Nicholls residence first, try a gentle approach, and if that doesn’t work, then we’ll get tough.”
Everyone nodded, agreeing with this decision.
After a moment of thought, Sheena continued, “Furthermore, regarding the engagement, Eli and I tested Romello today. He’s likely adamant about not backing down, especially considering that if the engagement is called off, the hefty wedding gifts from the Santos family to the Nicholls family would have to be returned in full. Romello values profit above all else, so it’s impossible that he’ll fork out
the sum from his own pocket.”
Jacintha gazed at Sheena with admiration, exclaiming, “Sheena, it sounds like you already have a plan in mind?”
Sheena smiled slightly, pursing her lips. “Since it’s difficult to approach Romello directly, we’ll start with the Santos family, particularly, Wayne himself!”
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
Elliot tightened his grip around Sheena’s slender waist and praised, “Honey, you’re truly brilliant.”
The other three were already accustomed to this dynamic, showing no signs of disgust.
Jacintha asked again, “But if Wayne could afford to spend so much money to get engaged to Phoebe, he surely wouldn’t easily agree to break it off, right?”
Sheena’s expression grew serious. “The Santos family is involved in the hotel and restaurant industries, and they’re thriving. Perhaps we can start from there. I recall someone who holds the largest shares in various hotels and restaurants in the industry.”
Howard, who had been silent until now, immediately understood.
Sheena was referring to Corey.
Although Corey had resigned from the National Affairs Bureau and suspended his position in aviation, he still held significant shares in major companies domestically and internationally.
Sheena turned to Howard, adding, “Perhaps you can discuss this matter with him and ask for his
assistance.”
Howard nodded. “Okay, I understand.”
Sheena glanced at the clock on the wall, realizing it was already late.
“Let’s end our discussion here for today. As for the remaining matters, we’ll have to check Phoebe’s situation before making further decisions.”
Lionel tactfully pulled Jacintha to her feet, saying, “Elliot, Sheena, we’ll head back for now.”
Sheena and Elliot nodded in unison.
Howard remained seated, showing no sign of leaving.
“Howard, it’s late,” Sheena reminded him.
Howard, clutching his stomach in agony, took a deep breath and looked to Elliot for help, his voice
soft.
“Elliot, I haven’t eaten in the past 24 hours, and I’m weak with hunger. Could you cook me some supper to fill me up before I leave?”
Sheena hesitated.
Elliot suppressed a laugh, his eyes gleaming.
“Sure, it’s rare for you to come around so quickly. I’ll whip up something nice. We can have a couple of drinks tonight, too, while you enjoy your supper.”
Howard swallowed hard, letting out a sigh of relief, “That would be great.”
Just as they reached the door, Lionel and Jacintha, with their keen hearing, caught wind of the word ” supper“.

The novel is too abusive it spoils the joy of reading it. I hate the punishment part between sheena and Eliot....
